"We've ended DEI - but we need you to give $10 million to pay for conservative professors."
It's amazing how quickly this went from @chucktingle.bsky.social horror novel to thing Hollywood is actually doing.
I am watching DropOut’s April Fools D20: On a Bus, having no real context for it because I haven’t seen the Gamechanger ep in which it originated, but I love it.
Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write
I forgot what day it was, don’t scare me like that! 😂
In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties!

see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

it's like our entire sense of morality has been filtered through the act of consumption, and the highest good we can imagine is feeling good and clean and pure as individuals, unpolluted by the obvious evil are around us
meanwhile, real change requires the kind of work you need a drink after
Sometimes these extremes are within the same country!
Ooh I would love to read this!!! 😍
The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.
Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways
Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though
